Today I Love...

Hello again. How was your weekend?? Mine was lovely thank you...very quite and restful...just what I needed after a hectic week last week. This week we have Felicity back on Wednesday with a lovely post so stay tuned for that. Thank you so much for welcoming her at ABT with all of your lovely comments last week!!

Today I love these three images which I recently added to my I Love Files. What do I love about these images you may ask? In the top image I love all the colourful pretty plates and of course I love the flowers. In the middle image I love the round buttoned ottoman with the box pleated skirt and I love the concept of that bed for a child's room. In the last image I love the natural linen tablecloth and the piles of books and the blue and white jar with the fresh flowers. Actually just looking back at these images now - do you notice something else?? Yes, they all have a little bit of blue and white...mmm I am turning into my mother!!

I hope your week has started with lots of happy thoughts!! See you tomorrow.

Oh that gorgeous children's bed design was what we had originally planned in our first set of plans for "the house that we could not afford to build"....back to the drawing board and a more modest design.. I can still dream with your lovely picture! A-M xx

I love the bed. I would love to have something like that even as an adult! It reminds me of this place my family used to go when I was younger up in Michigan. It had cabins, and the bed I slept in was in a nook like that.

What a wonderful bed nook!Such a cozy place to sleep.I love the extra book storage above.The natural linen tablecloth is lovely.The trim adds a refinement to the more rustic fabric.As always, you have wonderful tastexoBrooke

I established this blog in 2006 so that I could record my inspirations, my thoughts and my work as an Interior Designer. Based in Brisbane, Australia, my store Black & Spiro is always filled with a unique collection of interesting things which we scour the globe to find. I am most passionate about my family, my career, tradition, collecting, flowers, fabric, gardening, colour and quality and I will always strive to be creative and extraordinary in everything I do. I hope I can inspire you to live a bright and colourful life surrounded by the things you love.
